Reply With QuoteAnother thing ive found to really help promote the adhesion of 3m is to heat up the tape while you are applying it.
make sure to clean it like said above... that was the trick for me and even the guy at the auto parts store said the same thing the only way for it to work really good is to clean with alcohol and dawn soap...

Velcro that skirt its what i did its on the car with no gap and its been through 4 car wash already n still holding up.
3m adhesive promoter pads work everytime!
Anytime before i slap a molding on i use adhesive promoter and it's like concrete.
Never have any come backs at work either using them before i put a molding or lip on!
FAIL, you should really sell your ep because that is cruel and unusual punishment. 3m adhesion promoter pads are great to have also.Originally Posted by HmongBoi-Si
what you mean fail. its worked for me if you want proof i'll take pictures. don't start posting shit about this and that alright. i wasn't doubting the 3m products ok its just that i'm just putting out option out there for others so don't complain. if your just leaving your skirts hanging with a gap thats cruel and unusual.

the velcro idea is a lil ghetto that's all...
anyone can come along and take it off...the idea of the 3m tape is it's double sided, weatherproof, and holds firmly so nothing can fuck with it.
but hey, i'm glad the velcro has worked for you...as long as you, the owner, are happy with it then there's no problem!
Thats a lot ghetto.
LOL, i know, but i didn't want to say it!
Got to use the adhesion promoter correctly, too. It needs to dry for about 5 minutes.
You have your sideskirt held on ENTIRELY by velcro?? Someone's going to gank that shit.
velcro works if the lip is bolted on properly... btw the OEM/HFP wing uses velcro (industrial strenght of course)
if thieves want it, trust me, theyll get it regardless of what you use... unless the lip is bondo-ed on.. lol
yes you can say its ghetto but who can tell from the looks. its on the car showing no gap so who would know and yes skoo74 is right regardless of what you use people can still steal it so why bother saying this over that.
to liquid cooled you can say all the shit you wanna say i don't care. i just want you to know that the shit i use maybe ghetto but the outcome looks like a good deed and done right so you can just shut it

How about everyone shuts it. Keep it civil.

I'm just the paranoid type. If people know it's velcro'd on they might be more incline to give stealing it a shot. The question is how it'll hold up two years from now. Hope it works out. I'm thinking about using velcro at the top part of the fin to keep it flush, but the rest will be sticky clips.
I've had my type-r kit for quite a while now. Just took the sideskirts off in an attempt to make the fin sit more flush. I can vouch for the sticking power of the sticky clips. Those bastards are hell to get off.
